A bolt-on element is fixed to the tank with bolts rather than screwed into a threaded opening, so the mounting style matters as much as the wattage when choosing a replacement. It's an aftermarket part, not made by any one heater brand. Check the details on your old element and the heater's rating plate to confirm 1331XN is the right match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSigns your water heater element has burnt out\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside an electric storage heater, the element sits in the tank and heats the water whenever the thermostat calls for it. A failed element usually means the water stays cold, or warms only slightly overnight on an off-peak tariff. If the element sheath splits, water can reach the heating coil and trip the safety switch or circuit breaker. Scale build-up in hard water areas makes elements run hot and fail sooner. Resistance and insulation tests, done with the power isolated, will confirm whether the element or the thermostat is at fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric replacement element, part 1331XN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3600W rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-on mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor electric water heaters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3600W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolt-on\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFitting a bolt-on element\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is fixed wiring work, so it must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Isolate the heater at the switchboard, shut the cold water isolation valve and drain the tank below the element. Fit a new gasket where one is needed and tighten the bolts evenly so the flange seals without distorting. Refill the tank completely and bleed air from a hot tap before turning the power back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I know if I need a bolt-on or screw-in element?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLook at how your old element attaches to the tank. A bolt-on element is held by bolts through a flange, while a screw-in type threads straight into the tank. 1331XN is the bolt-on style, rated at 3600W.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44548345823310,"sku":"1331XN_G","price":122.44,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3489\/7998\/files\/1331xn-generic-bolt-on-hot-water-element-3600w.jpg?v=1792025837","url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/1331xn-generic-bolt-on-hot-water-element-3600w","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
